I have lost most of my faith in the Democratic establishment and half expect just enough effort to allow the establishment to think they have performed the bare minimum in performative strongly worded hearing confrontation clips a strongly worded letters of condemnation.

I’m glad to see the fascists lose the majority, assuming a peaceful transfer of power of course. I just won’t be very hopeful until:

• The neoliberal democrats lose their primaries to actual progressives
• A sufficient majority of the progressive candidates stand strong against the pressures of corruption
• Things actually start to change

The most vocal people you can imagine with the most radiant ideas have troubles finding stamps for voting.

I don’t disagree that among those who have strong beliefs and are vocal about them are those know how much effort goes into gerrymandering and other methods of “rigging” the vote. Others might feel like there are no candidates that are worth voting for - none that aren’t controlled by the strings held by the owner class. However, that is not the rule.

I also don’t think that more ordinary people who do actually vote agree with either party’s priorities.

The D and R positions are a reflection of the average opinion of people who bother to vote.

Hard disagree. I know polling is flawed and doesn’t focus on actual voters but it very much contradicts you. Exit polling also doesn’t support you, especially considering issues campaigned on vs. issue driving votes.

The D and R positions are just reflections of different groups of people with money and power.

I don’t trust corporate dems anymore. They will literally give a peer permission to tank mildly progressive efforts and then performatively pretend to be upset by it.

They are better than the fucking Nazis on the other side of the aisle but the Democratic leadership are showing themselves to be just as disingenuous.

In a world where there is no accountability for the powerful, and in a country where this fact is blatantly advertised and bragged about by the powerful, there is no reason to trust.

This is my biggest concern about the way things have been going. Without reasonable laws and consequences for breaking them, society will basically just collapse into “might makes right.” The rich and powerful have that might and use it openly to take more wealth and power for themselves leaving everyone else with less and less. Without a base level of financial stability for the average person, more and more people will grift and cheat and lie, trying to survive and support their loved ones.

We really need to come together and fight back but those in power know just the right things to say to keep us divided.

Can you share a source for the hood height regulations? Never heard anything like that before.

Well, being disingenuous with literally ever fucking word they speak has worked wonders for Republicans. Turns out to be an effective technique for Corporate and Zionist Democrats too. It’s almost like a class war or something.
